Where the mind is without fear and
the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments by
narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the
depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches
its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead
habit;
Where the mind is led forward by
Thee into ever-widening thought
and action.
Rabindranath Tagore
